Often compared to Maestro Luciano Pavoratti, Christopher shares the behind the scenes of his early discovery and classical training performing in 16 different languages — to now becoming “America’s Tenor” with highlights of working with President Trump and now headlining the America 250 kick off event on Wednesday, June 24th on the National Mall in Washington, D.C.

“When I was very young someone said to me, son, you have a gift and that means you have an obligation.” - America’s Tenor, Christopher Macchio
“I am so grateful that our President has brought The Columbus Monument back to DC, cleaned up the National Mall and has made the city safe!”
- Alyssa Ciccone, CiaoDC Host/CEO
“Italy has it’s fingerprints all over our Nation’s Capital…The Capitol has its own Italian influence…our founding principles bleed Italian…Jefferson was a huge fan of Italy.” - America’s Tenor, Christopher Macchio
“I am so grateful that President Trump has provided the opportunity for me to share my voice with the entire country. He has a real instinct for European sensibility…he wants me to sing Nessun Dorma on America’s 250th birthday…President Trump ‘Loves the Italians'…he has a lot of respect for Italians.”
“America 250 has been reimagined by President Trump which will be about 2 weeks of celebrations…No one puts on a show like this Administration. I am so proud to be an American and proud of these last 250 years.”
- American Tenor, Christopher Macchio
In reference to the artist cancellations…“As soon as these artists start getting these nasty grams on social media, they fold like a deck of cards….a lot of their careers are based on PR…not raw talent…For me, I can afford to take the risk - the voice is the voice.” - America’s Tenor, Christopher Macchio
“When I get these opportunities to perform (at presidential platforms) I get thousands of messages from people that have never even heard opera…that thank me or say how great it was and it makes me think I am doing something right” - America’s Tenor, Christopher Macchio
